    I always enjoyed our conversations about our kids and their milestones we would talk about, their school activities, and how we worked to fit it all in everyday. We had some great laughs about school, family, and life. We use to say you can’t make this stuff up, and we need to write a book about all our experiences in school. Laughter was always the best medicine.
